THIS BLOG IS ABOUT HOW I PREPARE TO BE SELF-RELIANT AND LIVE THROUGH SHORT TERM EMERGENCIES OR DISASTER EVENTS THAT DISRUPT UTILITIES or DELAY TRUCKING RE-SUPPLY CHAINS FOR WEEKS OR MAYBE MONTHS. MY PREPAREDNESS WILL ALLOW ME THE NECESSARY TIME TO SIT BACK RELAXED AND MAKE WISE DECISIONS WHILE OTHERS ARE running around with their hair on fire IN CHAOS.

National Prepper Radio Calling Frequency

I have
been looking for a list of calling or contact frequencies for Preppers and
Survivalists during good times for networking with and during and following a
disaster event. It is a shame that there is no established network, source or
standard frequency/channel listing for this critical subject of alternative
communication.

Well,
thanks to Dave Sarti for bringing it to my attention, we have some frequencies
to listen and make contact on. If you watched Doomsday Preppers you may remember
Dave, he was featured on the first Doomsday Preppers series. He is definitely
entertaining and has many worth while video’s on youtube. Here’s the link to
Dave’s video and comments about which radios to use and the contact frequencies:

Standardized Amateur Radio Prepper
Communications Plan

About:

In the
event of a nationwide catastrophic disaster, the nationwide network of Amateur
Radio licensed preppers will need a set of standardized meeting frequencies to
share information and coordinate activities between various prepper groups.
This Standardized Amateur Radio Communications Plan establishes a set of frequencies
on the 80 meter, 40 meter, 20 meter, and 2 meter Amateur Radio bands for use
during these types of catastrophic disasters.

Preppers
are encouraged to monitor conventional Amateur Radio and non-Amateur Radio
frequencies for sources of information, including: National Traffic System
nets, state ARES/RACES HF nets, global Centers of Activity (CoA), local VHF/UHF
repeaters, CB channel 19, and national simplex calling frequencies. However,

these
standardized frequencies and channels provide a place for preppers to meet and
exchanges information relevant to those of a prepper mindset after a
catastrophic disaster.

Routine nets
will not be held on all of these frequencies, but preppers are encouraged to
use them when coordinating with other preppers on a routine basis. Routine nets
may be conducted by The American Preparedness Radio Net (TAPRN) on these or
other frequencies as they see fit. However, TAPRN will promote the use of these
standardized frequencies by all Amateur Radio licensed preppers during times of
catastrophic disaster.

The
promotion of this Standardized Amateur Radio Communications Plan is encouraged
by all means within the prepper community, including via Amateur Radio,
Twitter, Facebook, and various blogs.

The
communication of critical information using the AM mode is encouraged on the
standard 80, 40, and 20 meter voice frequencies at the top of each hour so that
those who do not have SSB capable receivers may obtain pertinent information
using the AM mode.

Nets and
Network Etiquette In times of nationwide catastrophic disaster, the ability of
any one prepper to initiate and sustain themselves as a net control may be
limited by the availability of power and other resource shortages. However, all
licensed

preppers
are encouraged to maintain a listening watch on these frequencies as often as
possible during a catastrophic disaster.

Preppers
exchanging information that may require follow up should agree upon a
designated time to return to the frequency and provide further information. If
other stations are utilizing the frequency at the designated time you return,
maintain watch and proceed with your communications when those stations are
finished. If your communications are urgent and the stations on frequency are
not passing information of a critical nature, interrupt with the word “Break”
and request use of the frequency.

Anon, I think this group just screwed up the entire idea of this simple plan. The plan is to have a list of frequencies that anyone can use and contact other preppers in times of emergencies, not be a ham and want to jaw jack.
